Mark Driscoll’s preaching notes

October 10, 2008

Love him or hate him, Driscoll’s quite the preacher.

Josh Harris did a series of posts on preaching notes and managed to get Driscoll to share a bit of what he does. Below is a scan of his notes.

I actually do the same thing with the sticky notes. Sometimes I have a small page with a typed outline inserted, sometimes nothing at all.

I never have a problem with content, but it’s the transitions if there’s multiple passages or ideas being conveyed that I need supporting notes for. I have no idea how guys like Erwin McManus or Rob Bell go for hours without peeking.

lon,

when i was at ‘isn’t she beautiful’ in grand rapids, rob revealed that he would write out a huge outline on butcher paper, and then tape it to the floor of the platform. then he would go from word (each word had associated with it a good portion of his memorized message) to walk through the themes of his message. he also said that if he forgot a scripture, he would move to the next slide on powerpoint and simply read it from there.
